Factors to consider when choosing a bed
When selecting a bed, there are several factors you need to consider to ensure that you get a good night's rest. The size of the bed is one of the first things to consider, as it will dictate how much space you have to move around while sleeping. If you're sharing the bed with a partner or pet, a larger bed is generally better. A king size or super king size bed is ideal for couples, while a double or single bed is perfect for children or single sleepers. Remember, for example if a king size mattress is 5ft * 6ft6 that does not mean the bed is the same size. Every bed has different dimensions depending on design and style.
Comfort is another important factor to consider. The mattress should be supportive and comfortable, with the right amount of firmness or softness. The bed frame should also be sturdy and well-constructed, with no creaks or loose parts. If you're someone who likes to read or watch TV in bed, a high headboard that is comfortable to lean against is also important.
Lastly, the style of the bed is also important. You want a bed that reflects your personal style and complements the overall decor of your bedroom. At Direct Beds 2 U our beds are handmade to be as unique as you are. There are many different bed styles to choose from, including traditional, modern, luxury, and more. Consider the overall style of your bedroom and choose a bed that fits in seamlessly with the decor.
Understanding different types of beds
There are many different types of beds available, each with its unique features and benefits. One of the most popular types of beds is the divan bed. Divan beds are simple and streamlined, with a base and mattress that sit on top. Divan beds generally take up the same space as a mattress. At Direct Beds 2 U in Essex all our divan beds come with storage options. They're a great choice for those who want a minimalist look or have limited space in their bedroom.
Ottoman beds are another popular choice. These beds have a hydraulic lift mechanism that allows you to lift the mattress and base to reveal storage space underneath. A range of ottoman beds can be seen in our Essex bed shop. Ottoman beds are perfect for those who need extra storage space in their bedroom. We offer ottoman divan beds which sit higher than our frame beds while taking minimal space, or we have ottoman gas lift up options on all our frame beds.
Sleigh beds are a more ornate and traditional style of bed. They have a curved headboard and footboard that resemble a sleigh. Sleigh beds are a great choice for those who want a statement piece in their bedroom.
Finally, if you are in looking for a Essex bed shop with luxury beds that are worthy of a spot on your Instagram home page, Direct Beds 2 U is your one stop bed shop. Our luxury beds are customised in over 20 designs and over 40 colour options. Luxury beds are perfect for those who want a romantic and luxurious look in their bedroom.
Mattress considerations
Choosing the right mattress is essential for a good night's rest. Unfortunately we see it time and time again where customers are more focussed on their luxury bed that they do not consider the main item, the mattress. There are several factors to consider when selecting a mattress, including firmness, materials, and sleep position.
Firmness is an important consideration when selecting a mattress. Some people prefer a firmer mattress, while others prefer a softer one. A firmer mattress is generally better for those who sleep on their back or stomach, while a softer mattress is better for those who sleep on their side. In our Essex bed shop we have a host of mattresses to try, with many mattresses that have bespoke options. So you and your partner can have a half and half mattress, just like a pizza, the way you like it.
The materials used in the mattress are also important. There are many different types of materials used in mattresses, including memory foam, latex, and pocket springs. Each material has its unique benefits and drawbacks, so it's important to choose one that works best for your needs.
Lastly, your sleep position is an important consideration when selecting a mattress. If you're a side sleeper, a softer mattress is generally better, as it will conform to your body and provide support where you need it. If you're a back or stomach sleeper, a firmer mattress is generally better, as it will provide more support and prevent your spine from sinking into the mattress. When you come to try in our Essex bed shop you can rest assured you will get the very best sales staff that are highly trained to ensure you get the mattress your body needs.
Bedding and accessories
Once you've selected your bed and mattress, it's time to think about bedding and accessories. Pillows, duvets, and mattress toppers are all important accessories that can improve the quality of your sleep.
When selecting pillows, consider your sleep position. If you're a side sleeper, a thicker pillow is generally better, as it will provide more support to your head and neck. If you're a back or stomach sleeper, a thinner pillow is generally better, as it will prevent your head and neck from being elevated too high. We recommend natural latex pillows, these pillows offer great comfort and support.
Duvets are another important accessory to consider. There are many different types of duvets available, including down, synthetic, and wool. Each type of duvet has its unique benefits and drawbacks, so it's important to choose one that works best for your needs.

When shopping for a bed in Essex, there are several tips you should keep in mind to ensure that you get the best bed for your needs and budget.
Firstly, it's important to set a budget before you start shopping. Beds can vary widely in price, so having a budget in mind can help you narrow down your options and avoid overspending.
Secondly, don't be afraid to test out different mattresses and bed frames. We highly encourage customers to lay down different mattresses and to get comfortable. We also offer a privacy option if the customer is shy or wants to lay down without sales staff around them. This can help you get a feel for what you like and ensure that you're making an informed decision.
